Hello, all! I'm back! I had a wonderful week with my visiting company, but I've missed you all. I have so much to show you that I got backed up on. I'm not going to blabber off here because I'm too excited to show these off. Two weeks ago I showed you all swatches of LynBDesignsThe Name is Everything Collection, the first of three Harry Potter inspired collections. Today, I have the second of the Harry Potter inspired collections, No Forgiving You Now Collection. Inspired by the Unforgivable Curses, this collection is my favorite of the three. I'm a fan of dark colors during the summer. These three are all black based and flakie filled. Can't go wrong!!

I am in the middle of cleaning in preparation of some super secret company I have coming this weekend. I haven't had a chance to sit down and swatch lately, so I visited my archives. I found some things that I have swatched and forgot to show you all. I'm going to keep it simple with my first Fresh Paint polishes I picked up at Five Below a while back.

A favorite brand of mine is no more. Cult Nails has closed up shop. They made the best black and white creams ever. (I'm now on the hunt to find ones that with match Nevermore and Tempest. If anyone has suggestions...) Well, when Cult Nails first announced they were closing shop and held a sale I made a bee line for Nevermore and stocked up. I also snagged two other colors. I'm going to show those two lovelies to you today.

On this wonderful Monday morning, I get to show you all some beauties from LynBDesigns that I have had for over 2 months!! I've had to keep my mouth shut about them for much longer than that though. It's been so hard!!! (That's what she said... ha! I had to, you know you all were thinking it!) LynBDesigns does some amazing fandom type collections, but what I love about her products is she moves at her own pace. She makes products she loves. She takes her time and makes sure she is happy with every bottle. She tries so incredibly hard to make sure they are unique. She doesn't worry about what season it is, or what everyone else is doing. She truly focuses on what is nearest and dearest to her, then hands it over to us and gently whispers "Step into my world. Come join me."

It's a wonderful thing to watch LynBDesigns, as a brand, grow and evolve. With all the fandom collections Jennalyn has done, she had yet to do a Harry Potter collection. I can only imagine how often she was bugged to do one. Well, the day has finally come...However, she got a little carried away. So much so, instead of one giant collection, she split it up into three mini collections. The first of those collections, The Name is Everything Collection, is set to be released on June 19th at 7 pm EST. This collection is inspired by the house names of Hogwarts.

One of my absolute favorite indies will be celebrating her three year anniversary 6/13/2015. I was talking with the lovely Cameo from Cameo Colours Lacquers the other day. She was telling me about a giveaway she was going to have to celebrate the occasion. I told her that I should buy bottles of my favorite polishes and do a "A Few of My Favorite Cameos" giveaway to help celebrate her shop. She loved the idea and even took the it to another one of her go to bloggers and she will be having a giveaway with her favorite Cameos.

**The featured polish in this post was given to me from a friend as a gift. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated.**

I was flipping through my photobucket trying to figure out which set of pretties to show you all today and I couldn't believe I hadn't shown these off yet! A friend snagged a couple KBShimmer polishes, and sent them to me last month. I liked them in the bottle, but once I got them on my nails I was in full blown, head-over-heels, shot by cupid in love.I know what you're thinking, "These look so basic." Yeah, one is a topper and one is a nude, but keep reading, you'll see what I'm talking about! *smirk*

A very happy Monday to you all! I had a fantastic weekend with my little family. So fantastic, that I didn't get to prep much for this week. I had started on a post for a new collection, but the maker practically sold out at a craft fair over the weekend. I'll be holding off on the post until her restock when she gets back from vacation. You all with love it though! Worth the wait! Keeping it simple today with some newer SinfulColors that I picked up a while back while visiting my mom in North Carolina.

Sorry I've been a little spacey this week. I had some stuff come up that I had to deal with that just wasn't fun and extremely draining. I had a couple days full of stress. I didn't even eat. So, I'm pulling from my "swatched but never shown" archive today.

After a horribly rough night (huge storm with hail, tons of thunder, lightning, and lots of wind that kept everyone up), I'm keeping it simple today. I've worn this beauty from China Glaze several times, but never fully swatched it. I've had the photos for a bit, so using it as my rainy day quickie before I attempt to zombie my way through being productive.
